Jenni Hermoso has filed a complaint with the prosecutor’s office after receiving an “unsolicited kiss” from Spanish FA president Luis Rubiales after the Women’s World Cup final.
The Spanish footballer accuses him of sexual assault after he kissed her on the lips after Spain’s 1-0 victory over England on August 20.
Hermoso has stated repeatedly that it was not consensual, but Rubiales has refused to resign.
The player has also said she and her family were pressured by the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) to show her support for Rubiales in the immediate aftermath of the scandal.
The controversy has overshadowed Spain’s historic win.
Prosecutors said last week they were going to meet with Hermoso to give her the opportunity to present an accusation against Rubiales.
Officials added the accusation was made by Hermoso on Tuesday.
Rubiales has already been suspended from his position at the top of Spanish football.
He was handed a provisional suspension from FIFA for 90 days last week, amid his refusal to step down.
Rubiales also faces action from the Spanish government after a legal panel overseeing sports opened an investigation to determine if he abused his authority or tainted the image of Spain with his conduct.
